Louie Vega & The Martinez Brothers feat Héctor Lavoe

'Shut The Door' (Cuttin Headz)

Are we seeing a revival of good old-fashioned soulful house? Huge across the board and premiered on Mixmag.net, this features the distinctive Latin vocal of Héctor Lavoe and is one for MAW and Circo Loco fans alike. Nice sheep baa too!

Loco Dice

'Roots' (Desolat)

An emphatic, emotional step in the right direction once again for Desolat boss Loco Dice, whose understanding of what makes great club cuts jump is clear on this track which vocally references ‘Break For Love’ by Raze but gives it a new distorted vocal twist.
